What you'll see
A steep, narrow ravine of old houses and stepped lanes dropping from the centre toward the river. It is one of the oldest parts of town.
A brief history
The area was once known as the fountain district, and its old name in the local Béarnais language was Coste de la Hount. It has been reworked as a pedestrian quarter.
